How To Remove Snow From Garden In Spring?

Springtime is probably the most awaited time after the freezing winters and the extreme cold. The overcoats, the snow, the slippery surfaces, and ice melt for garden and concrete, are several things we keep in mind during winters. However, as spring arrives, we start packing up everything and storing them away safely, including ice melt products. 

While most ice melts naturally as spring arrives, large patches remain around our home, on sidewalks, roads, and even gardens! Snow has quite a positive impact on our garden and vegetation as the melted ice provides the necessary water to all the plants and the garden. The maximum damage to all plants and gardens is caused by shoveling snow, snowblowers, and snowplows. It can cause damage to the roots or break the stem if pushed too hard. 

So, how can we safely remove snow from the gardens and shrubs? Do we have a safe ice melt for garden that will not damage the landscape? 

Use A Broom 

Use a garden broom in an upward motion, loosening the snow and falling on the ground. Be careful while sweeping it since it can cause damage to the branches of the trees or cause already brittle branches to break. 

Use A Paw Safe Salt 

Using an environment-friendly ice melt such as Safe Paw will help you reduce any chance of damage to your garden and landscape. Since it comprises natural ingredients, it does not harm the garden and keeps it safe even if the ice melts. In addition, it acts as a natural growth booster and fertilizer. 

Pruning

It is advisable to prune damaged and brittle branches, leaves, and stems to keep the other plants from drying or withering away. Pruning helps eliminate all extra leaves and branches and helps the plants regain their growth. Some plants should be pruned immediately, as any damage to the plant can cause the remaining plant to die.
